 Hello Jeroen,
 
 Here goes another list of source packages for syncing:
 
 devmapper
 glib2.0
 gtk2-engines
 lvm2
 openssh
 pango1.0

All done, except openssh which is out of sync. This fell right into the
long Easter weekend where I was offline, sorry.

I've tried to fudge ssh -4 in anyway, I hope it'll succeed and the
udeb's aren't lost yet by the time they are put in the testing database.

 util-linux could be sync to 2.13.1-2 but 2.13.1-3 has been uploaded before I
 had the opportunity to ask for it. :(

It'd really help indeed if udeb-having maintainers would consider
syncing issues, I'm afraid that for util-linux, fudging stuff in is no
longer possible.

For e2fsprogs also, a newer source package was uploaded before I had the

   The main problem is going to be testing the new images as it will not be

  The question is however: should we try to keep the old udebs in stable
  also? Are they not overwritten by the point release? Or should we try to
  change stable so that we have two versions of the udebs in stable?
 
 I fear that they need to be kept since otherwise a lot of installation
 media that are currently used would get suddenly wrecked.
 
 I guess that it may be a good idea to implement something like a
 public morgue for these udebs for etch and its successors in that the
 installer is able to look into a second (morgue) directory for the
 udebs it requires for installation if they can't be fetched from the
 main source (main archive).

Even the first sarge release, it was ensured that some extra udebs are
kept in pool. Something similar can happen for the point release too, as
long as they don't need to be included in the Packages files.

If they do need to be in the Packages files too (so, multiple entries in
the same Packages file with the exact same package name), we need some
dak changes, and it's a bit risky, because dak assumes at various places
that the (packagename, suite, architecture) tuple is unique (which then,
it isn't anymore). But before exploring that possibility -- is keeping
those udebs in pool enough? Or would it require d-i changes? Would d-i
require changes if all udebs in question were in the Packages files?

Woody-Sarge upgrade claims to break if using devfsd

2004-12-18 Thread Jeroen van Wolffelaar
Hi list,

Note: I an _not_ subscribed, so you need to CC me.

Yesterday, we upgraded 5 workstations from woody to sarge.
gnome-desktop-environment depends indirectly on udev, so that package is
pulled in also. However, you will get a nagscreen then during upgrade:

| udev is not configured to use devfs-style devices.
|
| Your system WILL BREAK if you run udev with its default configuration.
|
| Please refer to /usr/share/doc/udev/README.Debian for more information
| on how to configure udev for devfs-style naming. 

(Without a 'cancel' button of course)

IMHO, it's weird at best that upgrading GNOME will break your system,
due to the current configuration of the /dev files. Whether or not GNOME
has any business forcing udev on you is debatable, but I think udev
should simply fail gracefully to start unless configured correctly.

I didn't dare to have any system rebooted yet, but fear for the results,
that this upgrade caused our systems to become unbootable.

 I'm sending this mail because of an installation report which included these

Thanks Joey, didn't yet have time to process this.

  - apache2 was default, but apache2+php4 module = not working

It is, as of today, the php4 module for apache2 is in Sarge. PHP-team:
congratualations.

  - installing both php4 and php4-cgi, makes apache2 use the cgi version of php4.

Not inlogical, because php4 is for apache 1.3 only.

I filed a bug to make the package names more clear:
#244573: Please rename php4 to libapache-mod-php4, and make php4 dummy depending 
libapache{, 2}-mod-php4

But, because it is very doubtful this will be done before Sarge is
released, I filed a bug against the package descriptions, which should
be easy solvable, and still be quite effective IMHO:

#244571: php4: Package description suboptimal, might cause confusion to
new sarge installers

  - apt-get --purge remove apache2 gave warnings about files in /etc (I
didn't touch the config), apache2 remained running after apache2 was
gone.  Installing apache (1.3) didn't make it start running)

There are purge failures already reported in #197986, #237030 and
#239571. Due to the oldness the oldest bug, I think patches are
appreciated, I'll see what I can do about it, but can't promise
anything.

Don't know about the keep-running, seems not reported, and I didn't
report it... Apache maintainers, what do you think?

  - The php4 readme.debian had outdated info (and very unorganized) about how to
enable the php4 module in apache (you need to run modules-update apache
enable mod_php4), which should be done by postinst imho anyway (didn't
happen, don't know whether it's intentional).

I reported already:
#244564: php4's README.Debian outdated w.r.t. apache1.3

In the php4 (- binary package) README it's already noted that the
auto-register as module is broken, this is AFAICS not reported though,
and don't know whether this is planned to be fixed.

  - Installing php4-cgi installed in apache2 automatically... don't know whether
that's how it's supposed to work (php4 should be preferred if both are
available imho)

There is actually a whishlist open against libapache2-mod-php4 to
perform exactly this current behaviour, #228343: Automatic installation
in apache2, but it apparantly isn't closed.

If you install libapache2-mod-php4, it is enabled by default too, if you
install php4-cgi afterwards, the module is still used. Don't know what
happens though if you first install php4-cgi, and afterwards
libapache2-mod-php4. Should be tried IMHO.
 
 Is there a problem with php4 and apache2, and does any of the rest of this
 look like something apache2 should get a bug report for?

Basically most of this is unclearness about that if you want php4
support in apache2, you should NOT install the php4 package, but the
libapache2-mod-php4 package, and that the php4 package's description
doesn't say anything about this doesn't help.

This render IMHO Bug#244571 to something that really should be tried
very hard to be fixed before Sarge, ideally even #244573 too, but the
latter has more risks.


Thank you all for your attention, and for creating those packages. To
make Sarge the greates Debian release ever, a little bit work on the
documentation and usability side still has to be done though.

Comments/Problems:
- The LCD monitor (Compaq) blanked out after a few seconds of inactivity
  when booted from CD, ctrl+F2 and back to F1 usually helped for a short
  moment. Needed to be replaced with an old-fashioned CRT. This problem
  was gone after the reboot. I heard this was previously also noticed
  using a RedHat rescue CD, problem seems to only show up when booting
  from CD, and not when booting from HD. I've no clue about causes...


- General: went VERY smoothly, everything I could dream of was
  auto-detected, I was very delighted to notice I didn't have to spend
  days on the X config for example. Great work people!

- ssh-client was not on the netinst, while ssh is sometimes required to fix
  networking.
- X: it defaulted to not autodetect my mouse... why not?
- installing desktop task, gets you both kde and gnome, whith kde as default (I
  choose GDM, and wasn't asked for kde/gnome. For desktop PC's, I can
  imagine people want either KDE or Gnome, but not necessarily both...
- Idem for editors, I want the Debian OS, not the emacs OS... (okay, I
  admit, this is nitpicking)
- apache2 was default, but apache2+php4 module = not working
- installing both php4 and php4-cgi, makes apache2 use the cgi version of php4.
- apt-get --purge remove apache2 gave warnings about files in /etc (I
  didn't touch the config), apache2 remained running after apache2 was
  gone.  Installing apache (1.3) didn't make it start running)
- The php4 readme.debian had outdated info (and very unorganized) about how to
  enable the php4 module in apache (you need to run modules-update apache
  enable mod_php4), which should be done by postinst imho anyway (didn't
  happen, don't know whether it's intentional).
- Installing php4-cgi installed in apache2 automatically... don't know whether
  that's how it's supposed to work (php4 should be preferred if both are
  available imho)
- Installing mysql popped up a huge note about upgrading issues... while
  it was a clean install (debconf abuse)
